Is a wide grip or a close grip better? I lift usually with the grip closer like the picture, but is a wide grip better?
>>42467639
Any grip that allows you to lift the most weights with good form.
Exp : i'm a 5 ft 10 manlet that had hand placement shoulder width, whereas my 6 ft 1 lanklet friend enjoys placing his hand about 10 in outside his shoulder width
>>42467660
I'm 6"2 and I usually go up to 185lbs but today I tried wide grip outside my shoulders and I could barely do 135lbs :/
>>42467660
>hurr durr shit form is personal preference
>hurr durr ive only been training 2 momths and feel it's appropriate to give advice
This is like saying " No, you shouldn't quit smoking. My friend has been doing it for 20 years and he's fine"
Literally kys and never give advice ever again
>>42467639
Little bit outside shoulder wide grip is optimal. The moment arm created by the hand to the elbow and the elbow to its supporting structures is minimized. This leads to a more stable bottom position leading to a better lift.
To find out why the moment arm is so necessary to think about, consider the extreme where the hands are the same for the wide grip bench. Imagine going for a heavy weight and trying to get it up. Think about the necessary position your elbow would be in to support that weight.
Which seems like the easier, more stable position?
I spend like $2-4 on coffee a day, Should I buy capsules?
How do they work? Can I split one open and put it in my oats or in a smoothie?
>How do they work? Can I split one open and put it in my oats or in a smoothie?
you swallow them genious
did u legit make a thread to ask how to eat caffeine capsules
Why the fuck do you spend so much on coffee? Why not make it at home?
I found that caffeine pills hit me too hard at once, made me feel too tweaked out and built my tolerance fast. You're better off buying a keurig with an empty k-cup. Costs ~$100 but if you drink coffee every day like me, you'll easily be saving money past 1 month of use.

Isn't it ribbon dancing? A lot of holiday """relief workers""" from """NGOs""" push it as a panacea for """PTSD""".
Why do people act like the bench press is a true test of strength? There is no situation besides benching where that strength will be useful.
>>42467247
Bench press is one of the key exercises to being aesthetic, and normalfags think aesthetic = strong
>>42467279
Dumbell press specifically
>>42467247
barbell flies is the pinnacle of strength, if you can't perform them with fucking heavy weight you are low T pussy.
>1+ set of bench press tomorrow is 145lbs
>Not sure if I'll be able to do it
Dubs say that you'll be able to do it
>>42467221

Hey OP
Ex male ballet dancer here. was at the professional level in russia.
Its gunna be way harder than you expect. And in a very strange way. none of the technical training involved is gunna make sense to you in the beginning. Stick with it, and enjoy the potential gains that you cant even imagine
protip. if you a serious about studying it, dont study ballet at one of the 'local ballet studios'. they have no idea what they are talking about/doing/teaching etc. they just dont know what to look for regarding proper technique. if you sre really serious (especially if you are a guy, and have some natural talent) there are TONS of major schools that will want to scoop u up and train u. most likely for free, giving u a scholarship, depending on your body type, natural flexibility, proportions, height, legs, feet, etc
btw. what country are you in?
>>42466017
If you're looking for social interaction with ladies, take "modern dance" or something less intense. I took a class and it was alright at least.
sitting in front of the toilet regretting what i just ate. i feel too full and want to know how you guys purge if there are any of u here. never done this before by thought about it multiple times
if this is against the rules or something just let me know and i won't post it again i don't browse here often
>>42465949
It's not against the rules but it's retarded
do it faggot
>>42465970
why? i read around and the only thing it does is fuck up your esophagus if you do it a ton. like i said i've never done it before
